Only the alertness of a patrolman and the prompt action of the fire department saved a costly fire. True, the hangar has not yet been accepted by the government and the private contractor will bear the loss. This does not help us, however. Only a glance at the on the anchorage, awaiting overhaul, is line of necessary to convince anyone of the immediate need for hangar space. We were more fortunate than the Army Service Forces Depot in Ogden when a fire of "undetermined origin" last week destroyed thousands of dollars worth of sorely needed material, much of it costly and irreplaceable. Let their loss make us the more determined that it shall not happen here. In a short time there will again be with us the annual "Fire Prevention Week." Though this "week" is an excellent educational device for school children, for adult workers on vital assembly lines, or elsewhere, fire prevention is an necessity.

Well, I guess you know that we are in North Africa. The boat ride was swell and I didn't get sea sick. You're probably wondering: if we like it here. Well, if you like mosquitoes, flies, dust storms and the blistering sun, you will like North Africa. Hill Field was never like this! We have a swell camp set up in an open wheat field Trailer Auto Repair Love is the beginning of life And follows to the end. It is a blessing when we are sick, And can make us well. To what heights it lifts us hone can tell, To the heights of Heaven Or the depths of Hell. It lifts our very soul. To attain our mightiest goal. It can rend and tear To the lowest depths of despair. Life without It Is useless and. bare. So Infinitely tender and sweet The Joy of Joys when we meet. An Indefinable hurt when leaving. But something that carries us thru. Love is all even to me and you. Without It what would we do. It's our Joy and sorrow, Our today and tomorrow. Our hopes and dreams, Till nothing else matters It seems. Something on which we place all Whether we win or fall. Love, how bitter or sweet thy call. V 't Editor's Note: The following letter was received this week by SSgt. Silvio Monday of 482nd from Sgt.
